My 9 month olds name is Hudson James. We already had 2 daughters and their names were easy and quick to pick out but when it came to picking the boys name that was hard! So we wrote down a bunch of names that we liked and one of them was Hudson. We could not decide on one at all so we showed the list to the 5 and 7 year olds and asked them to pick one out and they chose Hudson...so there you go! Hudson James (James after my husbands father).

My son's name is Hudson he just turned one this dec. Hudson was my maiden name and when I got married my husband wouldn't take my last name so I made him agree we'd name our first son Hudson. It means reliable. One week to the day that my grandma Hudson met our baby Hudson she passed away, I was so thankful she got to meet him and knew his name!

My son is Hudson Charles, and he's almost 17yo. I adore his name and have gotten innumerable compliments on it. When he was born it was very rare to hear the name Hudson, but now I do frequently. It's a great name!

My sons name is Hudson William. When we chose the name it was my husbands grandmas maiden name. We loved the name so much. We thought it was different. There were so many Hunters. Now I'm hearing his name more and more. The name suits him so much. My husband actually calls him Doc after Doc Hudson.

My HUsband and I are naming our son Hudson. It was the deal we had when we got married. I am the last Hudson, my father only had me and when I married my Husband I asked him if we could name our first born son Hudson so that the name continues in our family. My father is so honored and I am so honored to share this name with our son.

I am a brand new grandmother of a beautiful baby boy named Hudson William. It was instant love when we met him! Although I had not known names that had been preselected, Hudson was a totally wonderful surprise. We adore him!

My husband and I are going to name our son Hudson. It was my great grandfather's middle name. He died in a sports accident when my grandfather was nine. My grandfather and I are extremely close. He practiced sports with me everyday after he got off work. I remember the first time I heard my great grandfather's name. It was over fourteen years ago. I just knew I would name a son of mine Hudson someday. I wanted him to have a very unique name. I can understand the popularity of this name.

I chose the name Hudson several years ago. For me, it came from a car called the Hudson Hornet, which is my dad's favorite antique car (my dad's restores Hudsons). I am due this May and we plan to name our baby boy Hudson David (my dad is David). I must say I have been very disappointed to see the popularity growth for this name. I thought it was an original idea of mine 18 years ago (when I was 15), and I never would have guessed it wouldâ??ve become so popular! Having an over-popular name myself (Jennifer), I really wanted my child to be more unique with his name. Bummer. Oh well, Iâ??m still going to give him this name because I love it. :-)

Thank you so much for these comments! When this name showed up on the name finder, I loved it and was thrilled when my husband did, too. It sounds strong to me. Then I worried that it might be too unusual, and I wasn't sure how people would react to it. It helps to know what others have experienced.
